Answer 1

I’ve tried to replicate what you have done and found that it’s working fine with no error.

consider to download this solution (a folder contains an index.html page along side with jquery 1.8.2.js file).
maybe you have made something extra

Update: I’ve noticed something when copying your code, there is an extra questionmark in your code, look at the following picture
